Aerie<\/a> fam, are you ready to jump into the October pick for our #AerieREAL Reads<\/a> book club? This month, AerieREAL Role Model Manuela Bar\u00f3n<\/a> has selected a work titled What I Know For Sure, <\/em>written by none other than Oprah Winfrey. Filled with lessons and personal stories from Oprah\u2019s illustrious journey, the book reminds Manuela of a \u201cwarm cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon,\u201d as she fondly describes it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn more about why she picked this book below in our Q&A interview. Then make sure to jump into the discussion questions and share your own thoughts about the work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose this book: <\/strong>Imagine a warm, slow Sunday afternoon drinking tea with your wise aunt. What I Know for Sure<\/em> by Oprah Winfrey creates this welcoming environment. With nuggets of wisdom so good, you have to take notes. I first read Oprah\u2019s book when I was 19 years old. At the time, I didn\u2019t have many female role models. I yearned to create my own path but lacked the confidence and know-how to do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you are looking for direction or a helping hand to become the person you dream of? I hope you find this book as insightful as I did. This is not a self-help book. It\u2019s a collection of life\u2019s simple and truthful lessons.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What stuck with you from this book:<\/strong> After film critic Gene Siskel asked Oprah \u201cWhat do you know for sure?”, Oprah Winfrey began writing the “What I Know For Sure” column. She documented her journey through life and the \u201caha moments\u201d along the way. Oprah is quite candid about her struggles with weight loss, self-acceptance and business setbacks. Her resilience through it all has stuck with me and inspired me to write down my own quirky life lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A book to reference when you are in need of an uplifting friend.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What do you hope readers take away from it:<\/strong> You might cry at times. I hope this book brings you a sense of contentment and calm. A book to reference when you are in need of an uplifting friend. <\/span> Oprah’s writing style is touching and close to hearts. You will definitely need a highlighter pen! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you relate to any of the characters in the book:<\/strong> This book is relatable. We are all navigating life and learning as we go. While I\u2019m not a household name like Oprah, I see a lot of similarities in how I have handled hardship and the resilience I\u2019ve had to learn. Finding out my own truths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As you\u2019re reading What I Know For Sure<\/em><\/a> or if you already finished it, we want to know what you think! Were your takeaways similar to Manuela\u2019s? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What was your favorite lesson that Oprah shared throughout the book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Did you relate to any of Oprah’s experiences that she shared?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What stuck with you after you finished? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
